Hi there! I'm Eugene, a native speaker of Russian from Moscow. Language is one of the most important parts of any culture. It is the way by which people communicate with one another, build relationships, and create a sense of community. I derive great enjoyment from learning new languages, immersing myself in a language, and understanding the culture and traditions associated with the language. My other interests range from science to fiction books, from history to philosophy, and from sports to video games. If you want to learn Russian, please drop me a line, and let's help each other. I believe italki is an amazing place to share new ideas, make new friends, and gradually become a multilingual person.
